Israel in Toronto

78 years after David Ben-Gurion declared the establishment of the State of Israel, we gathered to celebrate the enduring story of a people whose resilience, diversity, and spirit remain unbreakable.

This year’s celebration reflected the story of Israel itself: a nation built by generations of communities from around the world who made aliyah and made our home what it is today 🇮🇱

We were especially proud to honour the 75th anniversary of Israel Bonds through our partnership with Israel Bonds Canada, marking decades of shared investment in our future.

Thank you to Solicitor General Michael Kerzner, Israel Bonds Canada CEO Raquel Benzacar Savatti, and to every elected official, diplomat, and community member who joined us to celebrate the past, present, and future of the State of Israel.

Am Yisrael Chai 💙

Hey NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration,

We may be biased, but we think this one’s the prettiest 🇮🇱🛰️

The Consulate General of Israel in Toronto and Western Canada condemns, in the strongest possible terms, the two antisemitic attacks that took place in the GTA this weekend.

On Saturday, a Jewish man was assaulted outside the Synagogue at the Sephardic Kehila Centre while accompanied by his child.

On Sunday, a Jewish-owned store was targeted for the third time, with a rock thrown through its window.

These are not isolated incidents. They are expressions of rising antisemitism, manifesting in repeated, targeted violence against the Jewish community.

These events are the direct product of a climate in which antisemitism has been tolerated and permitted to take root and proliferate.

What is required now is consistent action and clear consequences that restore deterrence and ensure the safety of Jewish Canadians.
